import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController,NSURLConnectionDelegate

{
lazy var data = NSMutableData()

    @IBAction func t1(sender: AnyObject) {
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
        startConnection()

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func startConnection(){
        let urlPath: String = "https://api.github.com/users/mralexgray"
        var url: NSURL = NSURL(string: urlPath)!
        var request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
        var connection: NSURLConnection = NSURLConnection(request: request, delegate: self, startImmediately: false)!
        connection.start()
    }

    func connection(connection: NSURLConnection!, didReceiveData data: NSData!){
        self.data.appendData(data)
    }

    func buttonAction(sender: UIButton!){
        startConnection()
    }

    func connectionDidFinishLoading(connection: NSURLConnection!) {
        var err: NSError
        // throwing an error on the line below (can't figure out where the error message is)
        var jsonResult: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil) as NSDictionary
        println(jsonResult)
    }
